I haven't a word from him about this anywhere. Anyone got a clue? I'd love to see him on the big surface with skilled wingers! Would be sweet to see him shut up some bashers here in Sweden who disslike him just because he's a hyped Canadian. Geesh, at 18 Ovechkin scored 23 points.

Maybe last week or before TSN.ca had a blurb from Sid's agent
saying he'd love to play in Latvia for Canada. Good to play
more & to get away from NHL glare.

I heard Phil Bourque mention the other night on the broadcast that Sid was very likely going to play for Canada in the World Championships. He was supposedly pretty disappointed that he wasn't part of Team Canada in the Olympics, so he was really looking forward to the WC's.

There was only one player better than him that did not make the Olympic team and that was Eric Staal. Seeing as how him and most of the rest of the roster come from playoff teams they will be hard pressed to find 14 forwards better than Crosby. Crosby could very well be centering the #2 line for Canada in the WC's. It will be nice to see him go up against Malkin.
